The ultimate comfort.

As I write up this recipe post, it’s finally winter. Cold, dreary, rainy, blahhhh… All that weather makes me want just one thing. Soup. Well, maybe two things, ’cause a cup of hot cocoa would be extra nice, too.

But soup. It’s pretty much the ultimate comfort food when the weather gets cold and rainy. 

Enter Brunswick Stew.

Even though I’ve been living in the south for years, and making soup for even longer, Brunswick Stew is pretty new to me. After having a friend over for a pulled pork dinner one night she commented that I could make Brunswick Stew with the leftovers. I was immediately on board. Anything that uses leftovers is a great recipe in my opinion!

Originally from Brunswick, Georgia, Brunswick Stew is a thick, tomato-based soup with pulled pork and/or chicken, corn, and butter beans. Of course, corn is pretty much a no-no for me, and butter beans are… disgusting. Sorry southern people, it’s true. 

Options, options.

Since it’s a *leftover* soup, I could pretty much just add in any leftovers I had, right? So instead of corn and butter beans, I opted for Brussels sprouts, carrots, and green beans.

And a new family favorite was born.

Just in time for the cold, rainy, soup-perfect days of winter.

Brunswick Stew also usually comes full of things like Carolina BBQ sauce (which, if you’re not from the Carolinas you probably wouldn’t think of as BBQ sauce), hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Instead of these flavorings, I opted for more paleo options: maple syrup, molasses, coconut aminos, and honey mustard dressing. And I used some paprika instead of the hot sauce.

Other comforting soupy favorites.

If you love the idea of this paleo Brunswick stew, and all the soups in general, here are a few more of my family’s favorites. They’re all paleo, refined sugar-free, and full of nourishing ingredients.
